Sophia Bernazzani says, “If you’ve logged into LinkedIn over the past few weeks, you may have noticed something different. Actually, everything is different, because LinkedIn completely overhauled its desktop site. After Microsoft acquired the job search and networking website in 2016, LinkedIn announced it would redesign its desktop website to more closely mirror its mobile apps. LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional networking platform, with more than 467 million members worldwide. However, LinkedIn members aren’t actually spending much time on the site. In fact, only 23% of... [...]

Tim Peterson says, “LinkedIn continues to cross off the checklist for assembling a modern digital advertising business after pressing reset a year ago. Later this year LinkedIn will once again let businesses target the people who visit their websites with ads on the Microsoft-owned, business-centric social network. On top of re-adding website retargeting — which is already offered by Facebook, Google, Twitter and Pinterest — LinkedIn will also enable business to target ads based on people’s email addresses, as its aforementioned rivals already do. LinkedIn’s plans are detailed in... [...]

Susan Moeller says, “If you want to get your content noticed, you need to pay more attention to one social network, and I’m not talking about Facebook. LinkedIn has seen explosive growth in the number of articles published on the platform. It also plays an increasingly significant role in content distribution for articles published on other domains.

Kristina Jaramillo says, “Many social media and social selling experts say volume is the key to success on social media platforms, including LinkedIn. In an article in Content Marketing Institute’s magazine, Jonathan Crossfield compares that scattershot, shotgun method to a realtor’s flyer-marketing efforts. He talks about how once a week his mailbox contains at least one real estate flyer that mentions a recently sold house in his area and asks whether he has considered selling his home. Now, Jonathan is renting, so I’m sure his landlord would have something to say about... [...]

Michael Pici says, “When LinkedIn was still new, some salespeople might have been seen decent results even with boilerplate, generic LinkedIn messages.

Try these six innovative strategies to write response-worthy InMails. 1) Mention a Detail from Your Prospect’s Recommendations Reading the “Recommendations” section... [...]

Emma Brudner says, “If you’ve applied for a job within the last several years, you’ve probably used LinkedIn somewhere along the way. Whether you’re updating your resume, applying for a role, or communicating with a recruiter, LinkedIn has become a huge part of the modern job search. And while LinkedIn might not be your first thought when it comes to content sharing, there are 467 million users on the network — and that number grows every year.
